It is strongly recommended that you test the upgrade on a development or test environment first. Please backup your files and perform the necessary tests after the upgrade.

 

  1. Obtain the new jw.war and jwdesigner.war files from either the:
    1. Downloaded installers (in the /apache-tomcat-x.x.x/webapps directory); or 
    2. The Enterprise Support Site for Enterprise Software Subscribers.
  2. Stop Apache Tomcat / Joget.

  3. Delete the existing WAR files and folders in "[Joget Installation Directory]/apache-tomcat-x.x.x/webapps":

    1. jw.war
    2. jwdesigner.war
    3. jw directory
    4. jwdesigner directory
  4. Delete the Apache Tomcat working directories i.e. the "jw" and "jwdesigner" directories in "[Joget Installation Directory]/apache-tomcat-x.x.x/work/Catalina/localhost".
  5. Copy the new jw.war and jwdesigner.war files into the Apache Tomcat webapps directory "[Joget Installation Directory]/apache-tomcat-x.x.x/webapps".
  6. Start Apache Tomcat / Joget


For the Enterprise Edition, upgrades between major versions e.g. (v4 to v5) requires re-activation with a new license, so users with an active Enterprise Software Subscription are required to request for a new license.
